When Gu Xinglang came to Wuhuan after taking a shower, Yu Xiaoxiao had already treated Wuhuan's wound. She was sitting on the edge of the bed eating an apple. When she saw Gu Xinglang come in, she waved to him.
Gu Xinglang walked to the bedside and was stunned when he saw Wuhuan's appearance. Wuhuan looked a little better than before. "Hey," said Gu Sanshao, "Is he okay?"
"The copper bell is amazing," Yu Xiao said, "Brother Wuhuan's recovery speed is much faster than that big black dog."
Gu Xinglang also thought so, so he nodded and said, "It's faster than that dog."
Wuhuan..., although I know these two guys have no ill intentions, can you please stop comparing him to a dog?
Yu Xiaoxiao stuffed an apple into Gu Xinglang's pocket and said, "Sit down and eat. You can talk to Brother Wuhuan."
Gu Xinglang sat on the round stool in front of the bed and took a bite of the apple perfunctorily. He couldn't tell the sourness or sweetness, he just thought it quenched his thirst.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her leg to touch Gu Xinglang, tilted her head towards Wuhuan, and said, "Brother Wuhuan said that he had a headache when he heard me talk."
The corner of Gu Xinglang's mouth twitched. God knows what his wife said to Wuhuan again.
"You talk to Brother Wuhuan," Yu Xiaoxiao chewed the apple core and swallowed it.
Gu Xinglang had no choice but to call Wuhuan, "National Master Wuhuan."
Wu Huan seemed to be in better spirits now, and his voice sounded a little stronger. He looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "If you don't mind, just call me brother like the princess does."
Gu Xinglang turned the apple in his hand and called Wuhuan solemnly, "Brother Wuhuan."
Wu Huan smiled with relief on the half intact face, and whispered: "I never thought I would have a younger brother in this life."
Yu Xiaoxiao said, "That's right. No matter what, my Xiao Gu is better than that bastard Wen Fenglin, right?"
Wu Huan said, "Let's not talk about him anymore."
Yu Xiaoxiao... It seems that Wen Fenglin's road to begging for forgiveness is full of thorns. Wuhuan doesn't even want to hear this person's name.
"Brother Wuhuan, how do you feel now?" Gu Xinglang asked Wuhuan.
"Much better," Wu Huan said, "Give me your hand."
Gu Xinglang was stunned.
Wu Huan said, "I heard from the princess that you were practicing the Heart Purification Mantra?"
Gu Xinglang placed the bowl in Wuhuan's hand that was stretched outside the quilt and nodded.
Wuhuan forced himself to concentrate and took Gu Xinglang's pulse for a full two incense sticks of time.
Yu Xiaoxiao ate another apple, drank a pot of tea, and ate half a plate of snacks. Seeing that Wuhuan had finally let go of Gu Xinglang's pulse, Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Wu Huan said, "Does it hurt when you use this technique?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head.
Wu Huan thought about it, and suddenly looked at Gu Xinglang's right hand, where Yu Xiaoxiao had cut off a piece of flesh. He found that Gu Xinglang's hand was no longer wrapped in gauze, so he asked, "Princess told me that your hand was injured, why didn't you apply medicine?"
Gu Xinglang raised his right hand to Wu Huan and said, "It's just a little skin breakage, it's healed now."
There was a shallow scar across the palm of the half-raised right hand. It looked like an old wound that had healed long ago. How could it look like a wound that had just lost a piece of flesh?
Yu Xiaoxiao took Gu Xinglang's hand in her own, touched it, and said, "When will it be good?"
Gu Xinglang said nonchalantly: "It will be fine on the way back."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Huan and asked, "What's the situation?"
Master Wuhuan stared into Gu Xinglang's eyes. There was no trace of Gu Xinglang's previous madness in these eyes. "If you don't feel pain, you can practice this technique. Just remember, if you feel pain one day, don't practice it anymore to prevent yourself from going astray."
Gu Xinglang said: "I've made a note of it."
Wuhuan said a few more words of advice to Gu Xinglang, and then fell into a deep sleep.
"He's tired," Yu Xiaoxiao told Gu Xinglang, "He must not have had a good night's sleep since he was injured. Skin ulcers are very painful."
"What about his face?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yu Xiaoxiao hugged Gu Xinglang's head and said, "When he gets better, I'll do corrective surgery on him. It's okay, we'll all be fine."
Gu Xinglang's breath was filled with the scent of Yu Xiaoxiao, which made Gu Sanshao relax a little. He kissed Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and asked, "Will the Heart Purification Mantra work every time?"
Yu Xiao: "Do you think we are stupid? When you don't care about your relatives, we still try to get close to you without caring about our lives? Today is a special case, we won't do it again in the future."
Gu Xinglang smiled and said, "That's right."
Yu Xiaoxiao showed Gu Xinglang her fist and said, "Besides, don't I still have me?"
Gu Xinglang held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and stood up, whispering, "Let's go, it's getting late, and I'm tired."
Yu Xiao: "You go to sleep. I will stay with Brother Wuhuan all night. What if he has something else happen later?"
Gu Xinglang raised his hand and ruffled Yu Xiaoxiao's hair, saying, "If you're hungry, there's food in the kitchen."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. There was food available 24 hours a day in the kitchen of the Prince Consort's Mansion. As long as she stayed at home, she would never go hungry.
Gu Xinglang walked out of Wuhuan's bedroom and looked up at the night sky after the rain. The eldest master came running over and said to Gu Xinglang, "The prince consort, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the young master have gone to the palace."
Gu Xinglang said "hmm" and walked out of the courtyard.
The eldest master followed Gu Xinglang and asked, "Prince Consort, how is Imperial Master Wuhuan doing?"
"He's fine," Gu Xinglang said, "How are your master and the Fifth Prince?"
The eldest master said, "My master has gone to bed. The fifth prince asked Gouzi for paper and pen. I don't know what he is writing."
Gu Xinglang said: "Take your brothers and guard the mansion well tonight."
"Yes," the boss immediately responded.
Gu Xinglang walked away quickly, and the boss stood there and complained, "How long will this go on?"
Gu Xinglang arrived at a courtyard wall, climbed over it, and walked to the end of the street outside the mansion.
There were no pedestrians on the streets late at night. It had just rained and the roads were muddy. Gu Xinglang walked out of the street and saw Tianjie, the junior brother of the Taoist master Tian Xingzi, sitting on the stone steps under the eaves of a shop at the intersection, with several empty wine bottles lying at his feet.
Gu Xinglang walked up to Tianjie and asked, "It's so late, why is the Taoist sitting here?" He had seen this person on his way back just now.
Tianjie stared at Gu Xinglang with his cloudy eyes and said, "Is the Prince Consort here to see me?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Why are you here?"
Tianjie shook the bottle in his hand and said, "For a homeless person, it doesn't matter where you stay. If the prince consort has anything to ask, just ask."
Gu Xinglang said: "What am I?"
Tianjie smiled and said, "You are Gu Xinglang."
Gu Xinglang said coldly: "Am I a medicine man?"
Tianjie smiled and shook his head, saying: "So what if you are a medicine man? You are still Gu Xinglang."
